TORONTO (AP) The short-handed New York Knicks became the latest victims of Toronto's blossoming bench.

Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Pascal Siakam added 14 points and a career-high six assists and the Raptors beat New York 113-88 on Thursday night.

New York played its first game since losing All-Star forward Kristaps Porzingis to a torn left ACL in Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee.

"We've had a lot happen within the last 24 to 48 hours," New York guard Jarrett Jack said. "Guys are still rallying around each other, still trying to come out and play hard and compete, regardless of whatever the circumstances are."

Serge Ibaka and Jakob Poeltl scored 13 points, Delon Wright and C.J. Miles each had 11 and Fred VanVleet 10 as the Raptors won their fifth straight home meeting with the Knicks.

The Raptors have won four straight and six of seven. Toronto is an NBA-best 23-4 at home.

Luke Kornet had 11 points and 10 rebounds in his NBA debut and Jack added 10 points, but the Knicks lost for the eighth time in their past 10.

"We like what he does," Hornacek said of Kornet. "He can shoot the 3, he can go to the basket, he can block some shots. He's going to get better and better as he plays against these better guys. I was pretty happy with the way he played."
